Anandji makes remarks about late actor Rajesh Khanna, saying that his “prime” had ended and that he became difficult to handle after developing an alcohol habit. In the comments, Anandji also says he had told Khanna directly that his period of major success was over.
The reports frame Anandji’s statements as a personal assessment of Khanna’s later phase. Both items cite the same core quote and present similar wording about alcohol addiction and difficulties in dealing with Khanna, with minor phrasing differences such as “got addicted to alcohol” versus “alcohol addiction” and “difficult to deal with” versus “difficult to handle.” No additional substantiated details about the timing of the addiction, specific incidents, or sources beyond Anandji’s own remarks are included in the provided text. The outlets therefore mainly convey Anandji’s perspective rather than independently verify particular events.
